Very 8-) if they pull it off, but that's a lot of people having to get used to new acronyms, 'N-S-A!' 'G-C-H-Q!'

So how will it work? Currently Mark Zuckerberg says he only has a "rough plan" but one of the primary goals of the group initiative is to reduce the cost of delivering internet services on mobile phones.
They'll do this by making phone applications more simple, while improving mobile networks to make them broader so that they're as data efficient as possible, according to The New York Times. Getting carriers and manufacturers to offer lower prices of access is also part of the plan.

The network operators will kill that plan as they want to maximise their profits.
